Misspelled email address

In haste, someone misspelled her own last name in a message to me, and now our messages back and forth always show the incorrect spelling. I've added the correct address to my address book. Will starting a new thread, rather than replying, place the correct spelling in there?
Thanks,

Look in Window > Previous Recipients and check that there isn’t an entry with the wrong name there.

It might help, yes. If you receive a message with the wrong name, Mail won’t change it when replying.

Correct misspelled email address on iphone

During setup of my iphone 5C, I misspelled my email address on the phone. The email address in my appleID account is correct, but not on the phone or iCloud account. How do I correct this on my phone and icloud account?

Contact AT&T and ask them how to setup their e-mail on any device (computer, iPhone). They should give you instructions on how to set it up with POP, IMAP, etc. etc..

Misspelled Email address into Icloud

I have created a Icloud account but I made a mistake I misspell my email and for that reason I can not verify my icloud account. what can I do to enter the correct email? I tried to delete this account but it don't let me because the e-mail is wrong

Hi jm2670,
If you are not receiving the verification email for your iCloud account, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
In particular -
Make sure that the email address is correct in your Apple ID account
If you're verifying an Apple ID email address, take these steps:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
If the email address listed in your account is incorrect, edit the address as needed. Apple will send another verification email to the corrected address.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Misspelled email address when login to iPhone for the first time

Hello everyone,
I have quite a big issue with my iPhone (I have iPhone 5c).
When I was creating my apple id for iPhone for the first time (after I purchased it) I added an unexisting email address by accident (I never had or used that email as a domain I misspelled does not even exist...).
Now I cannot access my phone at all (I needed to change a SIM card) and when I turned my phone back on, it showed that my phone was assigned for a particular apple id that is impossible to use - as an email (which is also an apple id in that case) and its domain,do not exist ...(it was even impossible to verify password after I accessed iPhone for the first time).
I did not realized I cannot switch it to the other id to unlock my phone...as to change main apple id I would have to do it through the old one and this is - as I stated above - not possible at all ...
using iCloud is also impossible for an above reason (cannot log in as I couldn't verify my password for main apple id).
I have an additional apple id I use for an AppStore (that's how I managed to log in here)
Does anyone have any idea/advise what are my options now?
I am unable to use my phone at all because of that
Thanks in advance!

If you turned on Find My iPhone turn it off, then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents & Settings.

How can I correct a typo in my email address when setting up a sync account?

I was trying to create a "sync" account in Firefox for Android, and typoed when keying in the email address I wanted to use. I realized it at the page where it said that it was going to send me an email for me to confirm. But there's no way to correct the misspelling in the email address. I tried starting over (exiting out of sync), but when I go back into sync, the silly thing keeps going back to the page I was last at in an attempt to continue using the misspelled email address (which, of course, I won't be able respond to--I tried tapping in the box with the misspelled email address, but it doesn't allow me to correct the misspelling)
I would just like to trash the entire sync setup process and start all over from scratch. How can I do this?

Hello.
Do you have any important/needed bookmarks, passwords, or history that you would like to keep? If not, then the easiest way would be to go to android's settings--apps-- and then tap on firefox--and then press "clear data". WARNING: This will reset Firefox to it's default settings, like when it was just installed. This should clear up everything and you should start over from scratch.
If you need to keep your Firefox profile (a.k.a. bookmarks, history, passwords, etc.) Then please let us know.

Correcting my iCloud email address

I have just been looking at my "Accounts" in Mail Preferences.
Noticed that my iCloud email address in the field marked "Description" was misspelled and corrected that.
However, in the field marked "Email address" I have not been able to figure out how to correct the spelling.
Would someone kindly help me with instructions as to how to do that - I would like to have people reach me through my iCloud account.
Also, the misspelled email address is showing up in the field marked "Alias".
Please also help me remove that. (I do not need to use an alias-especially one which is not spelled correctly.)
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Regards.

Hi,
You have not said that this account is not receiving new emails.
This suggests that the account ID is spelt correctly if it is accessing the correct mail server.
My own Apple ID is based on a Dial-Up account email I have.
I registered this for iCloud and can access the iTunes Store, App Store and the on line iCloud page with this name.
On Registering the Apple ID with iCloud I was given a @me.com ending ID which I use for iCloud Mail (the other is set to fetch mail from the Dial Up server)
If the account is not receiving Mail then delete the account in the Mail app.
Also make sure it is removed from System Preferences > Internet Accounts.
You can then Add the account in either place using the correct spelling.
This bit:-
Also, the misspelled email address is showing up in the field marked "Alias".
Please also help me remove that. (I do not need to use an alias-especially one which is not spelled correctly.)
I have no idea where you are seeing this.

Email address misspelled

An email address I originally used was mispelled and it keeps popping up for me to verify, which obviously cannot be done as the address was misspelled. It is extremely annoying.
Also, I got a tiny little bit of water on my phone and now my battery seems to be draining way too fast. Is it possible that the battery is damaged?
Appreciate your answers!

HT201342 My icloud email address is misspelled. How can I correct this?

My icloud email address is misspelled. How can I correct this?

You can't change an iCloud (@mac, @me or @icloud) email address without creating a new account. You can, however, create an email alias with the correct spelling and use that. It will be linked to your current iCloud account and receive email at the same inbox. This guide explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

HT2693 I have the wrong email address on my icloud and my ipod touch says I need to verify it but I can't because I misspelled it, what should I do to change it?

I have the wrong email address on my icloud and my ipod touch says I need to verify it but I can't because I misspelled it, what should I do to change it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

I misspelled my email address on my Apple ID. How do I correct it?

I accidentally entered .prg instead of .org in my Apple ID email address. How can I correct this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you mean "How do I change the ID on my iOS device", go settings > iCloud, scroll down and delete the account, then add it back using the updated details.
The data is in the cloud, you will not lose any data by deleting the account on the iOS device.

Can not view cellular data account any more (email address does not match)

On iPad, was originally able to go into Settings > Cellular Data > View Account and view the account info. Now cannot. If try using correct email address and password, get message that account or password are incorrect. If try entering just the email address and clicking "forgot password", get "the email address you entered does not match the email address on file for this device".
But the 3G cellular is still working.
Don't know if related, but this problem began after the reports of the 100,000 iPads/users hack. Leads me to wonder if I got hacked.... or more likely if the system/database that "View Account" normally accesses is offline or being reworked by AT&T.
Any suggestions? Best AT&T contact via Internet? By phone #? By local AT&T store? Via Apple? Use iTunes to reset to factory defaults and start over (risk loss of unlimited plan?)?.
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, I just had the same problem yesterday and it was a misspelled e-mail address, BUT, it did take me three calls to AT&T and more than two and a half hours. The first person didn't even know what I was talking about and gave me a number for iPad support which turned out to be Apple's, so... no help. The second person told me they were there only to solve iPhone problems until I read her your posts, then she tried and tried until the call was cut off (this is AT&T after all). But the third person finally understood, even though it took her almost an hour to get to their iPad support department (she told me it was busy all the time) not before trying with their "technical department" also. I just can't believe that Apple sells millions of these things and AT&T can't supply a direct phone number for this department, or doesn't even train their personnel.

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address). First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
address is not available email which will be associated to you Apple Id
You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address. What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be?
I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

How do i resubmit my correct email address to apple?

How do i change submit my correct email address to Apple I misspelled my email address when setting up my i phone Now i'm unable to receive verificatn email ?

Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Start over.

Permemantly deleting an old email address.

When I created a new contact I misspelled his email address. After receiving a delivery failed error I fixed the spelling, but now when I start typing his name in a new email I see both email addresses, the old incorrect one and the correct one. I have deleted all emails in the inbox, there are no folders where an old email could be stored, I have erased deleted items in Mail, and this address does not exist in the AddressBook app.. There is no where, that I can see, where this email address would be.
How do I get rid of it?

in Mail go to window menu->previous recipients and delete the bad address from there.
